Answers:
I don't think I ever met a girl who had a good body image about herself. (myself included)

If you are underweight, then I really don't think you are chubby. It's all in perception of yourself.

Just be active and healthy and go shopping and get some clothes that make you feel amazing.

Confidence is very important and can help change your perspective about yourself.Health Question & Answer

Yes, its totally possible. Bmi only asks for your weight and your height, it doesnt know anything else about your body, so it isnt 100% accurate. For example, some peoples bones weigh a ton more than others, bmi doesnt know that!! For example, theres a couple of girls in my class that appear to be heavier than me, and are almost the same height, but i weigh more... everyones body is different! I say ask a couple of your friends and your mom, just to be sure its not just you who thinks youre not underweight! =]Health Question & Answer

Do you have a very small build.? BMIs are BS if dont have a "typical build". Find out a way to find out your body fat %. Thats the only real way to determain if you are a heathy weight.

A while back i calculated my body fat % and how much weight i would need to lose to be in an ideal range. Even to be in the ideal fat % range i would still be on the high end of overweight or the low end of obese acording to bmi unless i would also lose heathy body mass.....im just short with a larger very muscular build.Health Question & Answer
